The Los Angeles Dodgers have made it clear that they are looking to upgrade their outfield this offseason. Word is, they will be active during the Winter Meetings next week. Apparently, Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> has come up in potential trade talks, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. But how likely is it that Los Angeles pulls the trigger?<\/p>\n

Could Dodgers OF Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez Be on the Trade Block?<\/h2>\n

Year in Review<\/h3>\n

Hern\u00e1ndez had a down year both offensively and defensively in 2025. It appeared that the charismatic corner outfielder was hobbled for most of the year with injuries<\/a>, and that might be the explanation. Whatever the case, Hern\u00e1ndez’s outfield defense was subpar,<\/a> especially for a team that prides itself on not giving other teams extra outs. The Dodgers were ranked 18th in defensive efficiency last year, and their right fielder was a large part of the reason why. Ideally, he is more suited to be a designated hitter, but that spot is taken by two-time defending National League MVP Shohei Ohtani<\/a>. Hern\u00e1ndez struggled with the bat as well. He hit for a .247 batting average, which is 15 points below his career figure. Hern\u00e1ndez also hit 25 home runs, which is also below his normal range.<\/p>\n
